Excerpt from The Maid of Honor Here was to be a wedding at old St. David's, I and I was to be the best man. The groom and I had been classmates in college, mem bers of the same fraternity, and roommates for the better part of four years. The day of graduation, which means separation, had come to us as it does to all college boys. We smoked our parting pipe in the fraternity lodge room, sang the song of The Girl I Left Behind Me, and turned our faces toward the future with the hope that destiny would bring to View the faces of other girls, of whom one for each of us would not be left behind. Two men could not well have been more unlike than were Harry Sinclair and I. He was of less than medium height, with round, full face, and light-brown hair which was a fine setting for a florid complexion. His eyes and mouth betokened one who would take what came in daily life, but who would vastly prefer to choose for himself what daily life should bring. He was an easy-going, good-natured man who could be strong and stern when occasion arose. Of course, in college he was popular.

Excerpt from The Maid of Honour, Vol. 2 of 3 The abbe's departure left a void in the household. He had grown to be so conspicuous and necessary a feature in it that even Gabrielle regretted his mercurial presence, while conscious of a feeling of relief in that he no more pursued her. It was but a temporary respite, she knew. He would return ere long, renew the siege, demand an answer. What that answer was to be, she did not feel certain.

Book Description
Excerpt from Three Old Maids in Hawaii Of the three mentioned, one was tall and one was short, and one neither tall nor short, but just such height as pleased those who loved her. Of the three, one was plain and one was pretty, and one neither plain nor pretty, but altogether charming. Of the three, one was rich and one was poor, and one neither rich nor poor, but very content with what she had. In regard to the happy state of old-maidism, it may be said that one is born to it, or one may achieve it, or it may be thrust upon one. Belinda Mays, tall and plain, had been born an old maid, and though not arrived at many gray hairs nor glasses - nor wisdom, she would have said - was an old old maid. Rose Tyler, Belinda's niece, who was short and pretty, had achieved all the old-maidism she boasted, which was, as one might imagine, no great amount, having seen only twenty-three years. It consisted chiefly in very firm declara tions of hostility toward men and matrimony. These declarations, on the principle that good wine needs no bush, were perhaps a little too emphatic, though her evident belief in them saved her from absurdity.
